Here's a link to a PDF file of the 2.4M manual.

There are tech drawings with dimensions in that file, however I'm not sure if you can work out the measurements you need from them. Hope it helps.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Then why didn't you say so in the first place ?

From memory the feed support arms are the same on both Ku and C band, the feed support tube though is of a different construction on the C-Band version, using just a short rectangular/almost square stub with four holes, as opposed to the one pictured. Focal distance remains unchanged though.

But they do not show the length for the side struts (thats what he is looking for, I think) I have contacted an engineer on this side of the big pond to see if he has a solution for him.(I hope)

Might take a few days, so please be patent Gatonico.

Sorry Gatonico no luck with those measurements, they replaced those dishes several years ago.

If you could set it up like the drawing in the posted PDF file, you could get a good idea on what to use, setting the LNB and dish to the height shown will give the right measurement to the edge of the dish.

Bottom of dish is 11 inches above the ground, the bottom of the LNB mount is then set to 26.5 inches above ground, then making sure the LNB are is centered to the dish you will get the measurements you need.

This is the only way I can see to get this done.
